Bay Street Closing Sale

New ownership at Calhoun Square comes too late for Bay Street Shoes & Accessories, which is closing after a 30-year run. The shoe store, locally owned by Darrel Besikof, never recovered from high-profile departures including Borders Books and Figlio. Besikof says he has faith that new owner, the ACKERBERG group, will restore Calhoun Square to its livelier days, but “I just can’t wait for that to happen.” A closing sale is on now with 20 percent off storewide, including Frye, Ugg, and other popular brands. Bay Street’s Edina location will remain open.
